temp_file_limit "specifies the maximum amount of disk space that a session can use for temporary files, such as sort and hash temporary files", according to the documentation. That's not true when parallel query is in use, since the global variable temporary_files_size receives no special treatment for parallel query. Enforcement of temp_file_limit will therefore not work *per-session*.
